Chapter 191 Does he still have to compete for favor?
Gu Huaizhi was stunned by Yi Lin's reaction.
With a sneer in his mouth, he leaned back, supported the desk with one hand, raised his eyes slightly, and said lazily.
"You eagerly sent people away, and now He Xianglan has such intention, isn't it a good thing?"
Yi Lin pursed his lips, stumbling over words that didn't hold his own, and said: "I just feel that He Xianglan is a thief and will talk to girls to please him. He is so frivolous that Miss Qi may suffer in the future."
As he spoke, his voice became louder: "It is not the behavior of a man to settle for the status quo after becoming a scholar."
Gu Huaizhi responded lightly.
Everyone has their own way of living. It is He Xianglan's choice to be content with the status quo and make enough for his family.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Faced with Gu Huaizhi's question that was neither salty nor bland, Yi Lin was stunned.
Yes, what does it have to do with him?
It was fate that they met by chance, and his head was filled with excitement. He sent the person there, which was the most benevolent and righteous thing to do. What did he do with this?
Besides, Qi Chuxin was very happy, wasn't she?
He Xianglan's reaction and attitude showed that it didn't take long for the two of them to settle things.
Isn't this the original intention of sending people there?
Yi Lin was speechless for a long time. Then he suddenly realized.
He began to play with the gold ingot in his hand, suppressing the discomfort that was brewing in his heart, and nodded: "Yes, I am indeed worrying too much."
Gu Huaizhi:...Idiot.
Hopeless.
Mu Hansheng's shoulders twitched as he laughed, unable to stop at all.
"Yi Lin, are you just thinking about how to make money?"
Yi Lin frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it! Don't worry about this weird thing."
Mu Jiu couldn't help but squeeze Ruan Zhen's hand, it was so soft and boneless.
When I heard this, I immediately clicked my tongue.
"What my brother means is that you can still think about women."
Mu Jiu chuckled and continued to squeeze Ruan Zhen's hand: "Soft and slippery."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone hit the back of her hand with a folding fan, and she quickly retracted in pain.
She wanted to curse, but when she saw that it was Gu Huaizhi who beat her, the anger in her heart died down.
Gu Huaizhi slowly placed the folding fan in front of the table. There was no fluctuation in his tone, but the warning was obvious.
"Mu Han has always been too pampered by you, making you so unruly."
"Are those frivolous words something you, a girl who has not yet left the government, should say?"
He remembered that soft and slippery was how scholars described the pretty widow.
Gu Huaizhi pursed his thin lips tightly.
Mu Hansheng crossed his arms and didn't stop him, obviously he was happy to see this.
Ever since he was little, he had indeed doted on his sister, so he didn't have much authority in front of Mu Jiu.
As a result, she didn't speak properly, so she really changed her mind.
Gu Huaizhi couldn't have done a better job of teaching him a lesson.
Mu Jiu blinked and turned his eyes. Then, he looked at Ruan Zhen with pity: "Zhen Zhen, do you always come here like this?"
The back of Mu Jiu's hand felt burning pain.
She yelled in a low voice: "It's okay to hit me, after all, I have rough skin and thick flesh. Zhen Zhen, such a delicate little lady, should not be beaten and swollen!"
Ruan Zhen turned her head and looked serious: "He won't hit me."
"Stop covering up for him."
"real."
Mu Jiu dared not say anything in anger: "Then he still beat me! My brother is sitting there!"
As she said this, she looked pitifully at Mu Hansheng and said, "You don't want to protect me."
Mu Hansheng: "You deserve it."
Gu Huaizhi snorted with unknown meaning.
"Can you compete with her?"
"Not convinced?"
Mu Jiu held back one word:..."Submit."
————
After all, several people came here to discuss important matters. There was no further delay.
Ruan Zhen went next door with the deflated Mu Jiu. As soon as the inner door was closed, Mu Jiu's true colors were revealed and he started stamping his feet.
"Thankfully, it's you. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't be able to bear his temper!"
Ruan Zhen opened the window and looked outside.
The candlelight flickered, and the woman stood quietly, like a splash-ink painting. Her neck was slender, fair and soft.
As soon as she raised her eyes and looked at the sky, her voice was still soft and gentle.
"In recent days, I'm afraid there have been changes in the palace. Whether it's friends or enemies, all the palaces are watching every move of the general's palace. No matter what happens to the princess or how the emperor cooks, you must not leave the palace."
Mu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then put her thoughts back on her face.
"Brother has warned me again and again, so I don't have to."
Tonight, she also followed him forcefully, and Mu Hansheng couldn't do anything to her.
Although she didn't know what happened, she understood the seriousness of the gaffe from everyone's attitude.
Ruan Zhen nodded slightly, and the earrings hanging on Ruyu's earlobes swayed. Then, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"You seem to be very afraid of Gu Huaizhi."
"No one in Lin'an is afraid of him"
Mu Jiu Nuuuuuuuuuuuu?"
Even if he wasn't afraid of Gu Huaizhi, he was still afraid of Xiao Hui's sharp teeth.
She walked over and followed him outside.
There are a few scattered bits and pieces, which makes it seem a bit dull and uninteresting.
"Ever since I can remember, Prince Gu has always been fierce. There was a fight in front of someone, and my brother lost a tooth."
As a result, during that period of time when Mu Hansheng was talking, the air leaked from his mouth.
"Later, my elder brother and my father led the army on an expedition. Before my elder brother left, he told me that if something difficult to resolve was encountered, I would ask his trusted aides to look for Crown Prince Gu. Only then did I realize that the two of them had never had any bad feelings.
, it was just a show in front of others. I got into a lot of trouble, but he settled it in private."
I only helped her once in private, but then I became very impatient and threatened her once.
It was so bad that she didn’t even dare to leave the house!!!
Mu Jiu had suffered more losses from Gu Huaizhi than he could count on one hand, how could he not be afraid?
Ruan Zhen smiled: "He is here to control you on behalf of Little General Mu."
Even though Mu Jiu didn't want to admit it, she nodded.
"He is also my half-brother."
Soon, her eyes lit up.
"You can't marry my brother, so I have to call you sister-in-law."
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, at the banquet today, Fan Kun, who was at the last table, kept staring at you. Bah, disgusting."
The look in his eyes was like a poisonous scorpion, which made Mu Jiu feel uncomfortable all over.
"You also have to be careful. I always feel that he is a little crazy after being stimulated."
A few words made Ruan Zhen's quiet little face look a little panicked.
She hadn't heard this name for a long time.
Her fingertips curled up.
"I don't go out of the house very often. I have An Qi with me, so nothing will happen to me."
Mu Jiu felt relieved, something that had been pressing in her heart for a long time.
"Do you think it's really possible for Chi Xingxun to get married? I've heard about that princess for a long time. She has a lot of reputations and is licentious, but she is loved by His Majesty the Kingdom of Fan."
Ruan Zhen said slowly, her eyes sparkling: "I think it was his creation."
Mu Jiu was almost moved: "Then maybe I can give him a 'marriage' regardless of the past grudges."
Ruan Zhen swallowed.
"I wonder if Chi Xingxun will still have to fight for favor after he leaves?"
